Evans, last week. She was bound from New Orleans to Oinoinnatl, and stopped at Napoleon, Arkan sas, Thursday morning. She was boarded by a number of citizens of that plaoe, who ex. pressed themselves satisfied, after overhauling her manifest. She then let loose her lines and waa in the aot of leaving the wharf when about twenty-five men came to the wharf and commenced firing at her. At the first fire a citlaen of Memphis, named Hamner, was shot through the breast, and died almost instantly. A fireman on the boat was also shot in the ■boulder, but was not dangerously wounded. The Westmoreland was crowded with pas sengers, the most of them residents of the South, and a large number of whom were ladies. Just previous to the firing, the ladies hgd been standing on the guard,but bad re-en tered the cabin on seeing the boat’s prepara tions to leave, which probably saved many lives. As the Westmoreland passed Helena without stopping, word to that effect was tele graphed to Memphis. A detachment of mill-, tary, headed by the Mayor, was in waiting to meet her. She was boarded, a committee ap pointed to examine her manifest, and the boat formally taken possession of by the proper au thorities. The passengers were treated with the utmost courtesy, were landed, and their baggage handed over to them. The cylinder heads of the Westmoreland were removed and a detachment of the Harris Zouave Oadets placed in charge of her. Chiaf John now in full blast Thb Homs GaxßDfi. —The cumber of these organizations is daily upon the increase and those now enrolled upon the books of the Corn** mittee on Home Defence would of tbeopelves constitute a formidable army. Up to noon yesterday the muster rolls of seventy compa nies had been placed on die at the commit* tee rooms. These would average at.least sev enty five men each, making an aggregate of 6,260 men now organised for home defenee. On last Friday night one company was in spected, or. Saturday night one, on Monday night, eleven, on Tuesday nierht eight and last nisht flve,twenty sixinall. When the distribu tion of arms, which will probably commence to day, is made, the companies will be formed into regiments and an election held for regi mental officers. Our city companies are making arrangements for uniforming and it Is expected that within two weeks the two cities will be able to turn out at least two full regiments of uniformed Home Guards. The importance and efficiency ot this movement most be recognised by all and with such a force ready to turn out on the shortest notice, we need fear no attack, however sudden or well concerted. In this matter the Committee on Home Defence have acted with commonia ble promptness and energy, and they are much gratified at the alacrity with which their call has been responded to. The procuring of the necessary arms was a work of extreme difficult ty, but the committee accomplished it speedily and satisfactorily, for whioh they are entitled to the hesLrt-felt thanks of a community before (almost defenceless. The agent sent out by the committee is still using every exertion to pro* cure a further supply of arms and it is not too much to expect that in a short time we will have ten thousand stand of arms under the control of the committee, for the defence of our hornet and firesides. With strong men, brave hearts and efficient arms to proleot, who would dare disturb them ? I Ohkap Johx, No. 61, Cheap John.

These have all been ordered into camp, and some went out yesterday afternoon. An ef fort to purchase a Sag for the camp has been so far onsucceesfa', bat-thedaughters of ex- Oovernor Johnston have taken the matter In hand and will have one prepared at once. » —Since the above was written we see that the President has countermanded the order for more troops from Pennsylvania and tbat even the six companies named above will not be needed. It is impossible to say what the ef feot of this will be, bat we fear many of the companies organized will disband. We advise all who can to hold on, as Col. Jarrett has tel i graphed to Gov. Curtin for permission to re ceive another regiment, which may be accepts ed. The Disappointed HoUierm. A meeting of the OapUinß of thoee com panies not eocepted by Col. Jarre It wai held yesterday morning in the Common Council Chamber, where twenty eight, whose com- Cies had been offered, were present. Dis ding was first proposed, bat after some disoossion the following resolutions were adopted: Sttolved, That a committee of three be ap pointed by the Chair, to proceed at once to organise all companies into regiments, to be offloered in the proper manner. JUtolved, That as soon as said regiments are organised, then their regimental officers shall submit a plan fer future notion. Col. EL Holts, CapUln H. S. Fleming and CapL D. Armstrong were appointed to carry the Ant into effect. Capt Armstrong advised the gentlemen present to use every effort to hold their men together, as a committee of in fluential gentlemen, among whom were Ex- Governor Johnson and Thomas M. Howe had Just gone to Harrisbnrg, for the purpose of making some arrangements by which all the companies here can be encamped, uniformed and equipped. The meeting then adjourned to meet at the same place this morning at ten o’clock. What action will be taken under the discouraging news ef the countermanding of the requisition is difficult to say, but it is seriously proposed to organise at least one regiment for an indepen dent guerilla warfare.

Prom Saturday afternoon to Thuisday morning seventeen hundred barrels bad been filled, and the vats, containing over one hundred barrels more, were flowing Over. The gas, the Mercer Dispatch states, is yet on fire, bat the flame is confined to the chamber of the well by a mound of wet day thrown over its mouth. A pipe is driven through this clay to the mouth of the well, and through this the oil flows to the reservoir from which the barrels are filled. Cheap John! Crisis! Overwhelming crowds.

Editor of Morning Post: —As the Oak* laod Park and Linden Grove are thrown open to the volunteers to drill in, it would be well for those who have been selected to locate the encamping ground to visit these two placet, as they are admirably adapted for a camp ground, containing between one and two hundred acres of ground, a large portion of which is cleared lana; the balance beautiful forest with extra* ordinary springs of good cold water. All of theie things combined must make it a very drfllrable place for soldiers in hot weather. The ground is dry, and the air pure and free from dust or smoko. B. The above location is most admirably adapt ed for an encampment. The ground is high, dry, well shaded and near the city. Millions have been benefited by Cheap John, 61 Fifth street.

BY TELEGRAPH. Very Latest. Fort Kearney, May I.—The Pony Ex» press passed here at 9 30 o'clock last night bringing the following summary of news from the Pacific Coast. San Francisco, April 20.—Commercial. The excess of stocks generally, the late liberal arrival of goods, and the advices by every con sequence of continued heavy shipments in this direction, have united to force some aotivity in trade, with a general Weakening effort on the market, the fullest demonstration, of which the country is capable, is heeded to keep the mar ket where it is. Buyers are enabled to obtain concessions from tb*ostremo low rates quoted as current, while congratulate themsel veson the completion of every bargain, while buyers doubt their own prudence. Messrs. G. W. D -nver and Samuel Smith have been appointed Commissioners to pro ceed to Washington with vouchers and adjust the California War debtwith the federal gov ernment. The Senate has amended tbo act passed last year offering a bonus of $60,000 to the com pany building the first .telegraph between the Mississippi and Pacific extending the time for the completion of the work without forfeiting the boous, six months. It is believed that the Assembly will concur. The stocking of the western end of the over land route for the mail service under the Sat terfield contract, has been commenced. The company purpose establishing stations every eighteen miles across the continent, each sta tion to be well supplied with men, horses and coaches, the first coach to leave California between the 16th of June and Ist of July, and probably to make the trip overland in 16 days. A charge of bribery and corruption involv ing the integrity of a portion of the Assembly Committee on Claims is being investigated by a special committee for that purpose. A public dinner is proposed for Senator Lathaw, on his arrival, by his friends in San Francisco. The legislature has changed the election law so that the municipal election for Ban Francisco shall hereafter be held in May in stead of September, when the State election takes place. { Late accounts from Mariposa oouuty, state that the Fremont dam Ihvill be spared, so that all the quartz mill4can resume opera tions within two weeks, f A gold excitement ik’prevailing at Los Angelos, based on reoertt reported discov eries in the mountains teethe South-East of that place.

There is great ex citement in all the Northern regions as to new gold fields in Nex Perces county. The correspondent of the Victoria Press says a company of French Canadians struck coarse gold diggings in the neighborhood of Lake K&lloops on Kidge Mountains running through Similkarnegn to Carriboo. The whole ridge is supposed to be gold hearing. The Colanist says that the export of gold from Viotoria for the quarter ending March 18, is $218,000, being an excess of $42,000 over the corresponding quarter last year. The samo paper recommends the purchase or building of steamers for Victoria and San Francisco direct 1h case the offer to be made to the proprietors of the Santa Crux is rejected. The Grand Jury of Victoria has presented Sheldon’s Mammoth Gift Enterprise as a nui sance and the proprietor as amenable to law. Crowds of people are leaving Victoria, Ore* gon and Waahington territory for different gold districts. The Portland Advertiser of the 17th says that the news received by the last trip of the Julia is ccnfirmalory of the richness of the Nex Peroe mines. Mr. Geary, Superintend ent of Indian Affairs, in conjunction with Agent Cain has effected an agreement with the Nex Perce Indians to open a portion of their country to the mines, with a provision for a military force in the vicinity of the mines to preserve peace and order. The British Columbia papers report the dis covery of rich gold diggings in Carriboo coun ty- Whekiinq, May L—A meeting of the merchants of this city was heid to-day to de termine what action should be taken in regard to the renewal of the State license which ex pired yesterday.

New York, May I.—The steamer Atlan ctc arrived to-day from Fort Pickens, which she reinforced successfully on the night of the 16th ult, without accident. The steamer Illi nois Jlanded her reinforcements at Fort Pick ens on the 19th. The Powbaitan arrived on the 17th.

Privates in the meantime will be paid $2O a month by the State. Montgomery, May I.—Nothing of gen' eral interest has transpired. Congress is mostly in secret session. The first battalion of the 3d regiment left this morning for Virginia. Two companies of dragoons are ready for Pensacola. Harrisburg, May I.—The last requl-ition for troops has been countermanded by the President. This will be a terrible damper to the regiments now on their way hither from the nterior. v;\' ; '■'..tty * •- *■ -f- • Jj, H ‘ * **L* Baltimore, May I.—Judge Bard, of the Criminal Court to-day, in charging the Grand Jury, called their attention particularly to the mob on the military on the 19th. He wished that the guilty may be brought to punishment. Ho said: A riot has occurred in our midst and a state of things since continued to exist which demands thorough investigation at your hands, for the punishment of crime and the vindica tion of the good fame of the community. On the 19th of April, a body of United States troops, on their passage to the capitol through our streets, in obedience to tho call of the U. States authorities was assaulted by a riotous mob, their way blockaded ar.d a number of ; them killed or seriously wounded. The excitement ami alarm which ha-s pre vailed since, has been appalling, and the peaceful pursuits of trade have been almost entirely abandoned. It is your duty, gen tlemen, under the aolemu oaths you have taken, impartially to inquire into these oc currences, and present such person or per sona who may be known to you or shall be Bhown before you to have borne a part iD this riot. Your investigation is not to be confined to the occurrences of that day alone, you will inquire whether there was not preparation and by whom; you are bound to present those who aided in the destruction of the railroad, prevented the safe maich of the troops and assisted in impeding their passage. At the same time it is your duty to inquire whether any of our own citizens were without justification or provocation fired upon by the troops and killed. In this I call your at tention to the section of the code of public general laws, respecting obstruction to rail roads and to the section respecting the in jury of telegraph lines within the Skate* The Court has now discharged its duty in laying before you what has occurred, and your duty under the law in consequence. The responsibility is now with you ; to the fulfilment of this duty you are sworn as well as myself. 1 have only to add that the tumult of popular passion should not disturb its deliberations within the halls of justice.
